How about this, best and worst decades excluding all John Williams scores?

You think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night?

Forget about it!

I'm currently reading The Shining.

I find a strong woman to be beautiful, of course only when it's natural.

I'm not saying that just about the women. Steroids ruin men as well.

Duracell, those are seriously fantastic

Yeah, very cool! Has a nice 60's pop art feel to it.

Thanks, both of you. My style was partly influenced by the art of Ted Harrison. Here are some examples of his art.

 

Actually, I like your work better.

Cowboys & Aliens

Gotta say I enjoyed every minute of it. First summer blockbuster that hasn't made me feel claustrophobic.

7/10

Here is a picture I drew of Cesare Siepi as Don Giovanni in charcoal. It was my avatar a long time ago.

I have a lot of drawings, but my scanner is messed up, so I can't post them.

It would be interesting if somebody made a fan film/fan edit that tried to emulate the McQuarrie concepts.

Scarface - Geto Boys

Great song, though I think Scarface should've avoided doing the Tony Montana impressions. I think it cheapens the experience.

I also think Temple of Doom is the best of the sequels, but maybe that's because that's the one I watched most as a kid.

The bugs freaked me out.

I always forgave it because it was the most visually interesting and original of the 3 sequels.

Crusade was a better film, but it played things too safe, and it doesn't show anything new visually. Looks like Raiders dumbed down brother.

I might've cut Skull some slack if it wasn't so damn hard to look at. Even when I'm in schlock kind of mood, I still want to see eye pleasing visuals.

1. Empire Strikes Back

2. Raiders of the Lost Ark

3. Blade Runner

4. Jacob's Ladder

5. Amadeus

6. Jaws

7. Star Wars

8. Alien

9. Cool Hand Luke

10. Mad Max

That's being as honest as I can. It's a hard job listing them all.

I never really cared for Last Crusade. Maybe because it was too much like Raiders.

That's probably my reason too. I think it is a better movie than Doom, but at least Doom was visually different, and interesting. So I think Doom was a worthy sequel.

Crystal Skull pissed me off for how ugly the film was. The original Indy films had a beauty to them. Gotta tip your hat to Douglas Slocombe's keen eye. Plus any scene that could've looked good had a thick coat of yellow over it.

Lucas seems to have problems with 3rd films.

Cocain - J. J. Cale

It'd be neat to see the T-16 in more places than just Luke's hand. I really think it could go in the prequels, but even in somebody's radical ANH edit.

George has rights to some the greatest pieces of art ever, and he goes with crap every release. The 1990's, he'd release the films and they'd have beautiful covers.

Even though you know she had to smell absolutely rank the whole movie, German actress Antje Traue was hot in Pandorum.

Lost Highway.

Any movie that plays Rammstein thrice deserves 4 stars in my book.

It seems like the better the book, the worse the film.

Goblet Of Fire was one of the best books in the series, and it got terrible treatment in it's adaptation.

Order Of The Phoenix was a pretty weak book untill the last little bit, and it's movie was really good.

I think Prisoner Of Azkaban was the most faithful, though I would've liked Sirrius to have been as menacing a threat as he was in the book. Gary Oldman played it flawlessly, but many great scenes were cut that added to the fear.

I like Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone the best, simply because it is the most visually interesting. It's also more magical, where as the others really aren't. It seems more like Dragon Ball Z than wizardry in the later films.

^Thanks for that, I'll wait for the blu-ray now...

And now that I think of it, I saw Harry Potter #6 in theaters because a girl I was seeing wanted to see it, and I absolutely loathed it.  It was so boring.

I liked parts of it, but feel it was bogged down with too much of the love element. Of course it was the same in the book, so the movie was just being faithful.

Plus, I was pleasantly surprised by the work of David Yates, who really put his own mark on the movie, which I didn't expect for part 7 of a 7 part series. 

Actually, each Potter film is pretty different in style and look.
